Tempted by the Pride of Life

The "Pride of Life" pertains to a love for the things of this world. How occupied are we with the present world around us, and how much and how often are we tempted to let the physical desires interfere with the work of salvation in us?  Are we being about Our Father's Business or too busy with this world's business?
